Tom Ince is braced for a Wembley hate-mob, due to his father’s ­controversial exit from West Ham.

Ince Junior is making his own name this season as an attacking midfielder at ­Blackpool.

He helped the Seasiders beat Birmingham 3-2 on aggregate to set-up a Championship play-off final with the Hammers a week on Saturday.

Ince has already had flak from West Ham fans once this season when Ian Holloway saw his side lose 4-0 at Upton Park in October. And he knows the scars have still not healed from 23 years ago when dad Paul quit for Manchester United.

Ince, 20, said: “I have to deal with the pressure of my dad playing and doing well in the game.

“I’ve had stick at five or six other teams this season. I went to West Ham and got slaughtered. I think it’ll be even worse at Wembley.”

His dad and former England captain Paul was pictured in a Manchester United shirt before leaving West Ham, which some fans have never forgiven.

It's not you, it's me: Paul Ince is still despised over the way he quit West Ham

Ince added: “I only knew about that recently when I was speaking to my mother. But the way I look it at is that it’s not about me, it’s because of him. People will always have a go at me because of him – so it’s his fault!

“But I’m proud of who I am and proud of what my dad’s done in the game.

“People have always compared me to him – even today I’m always described as ‘Paul Ince’s son’.

“But that’s fine, I have to deal with that.

“People will always slaughter you because they’re either jealous or they feel it’ll affect me. If I can do half as well as him, then I’ll feel I’ve done OK.”

He has already shown willpower to resist a four-year contract at Liverpool last summer to pursue regular first-team football at Blackpool.

The starlet, who has scored seven goals, believes the switch has paid off as he relishes a Wembley date for a place in the Premier League.

Ince added: “It’s a massive transformation after Liverpool reserves. I had the opportunity to play for Blackpool and I can’t thank them enough.

“I was in and out at the start of the season, I didn’t go to Blackpool thinking I could walk into the side.

“The gaffer’s brought me in slowly, I’ve come on in leaps and bounds and now I’ve had a good run.”
